"Game of Shadows" Authors Subpoenaed to Testify on Barry Bonds
Two San Francisco Chronicle reporters who wrote a book about Barry Bonds alleged steroid use were subpoenaed Friday to testify before a federal grand jury regarding court documents they used in their articles, the newspaper reported.The subpoenas of the authors of "Game of Shadows," Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams, called for them to turn over their copies of grand jury transcripts from the 2003 investigation of a steroid distribution ring based at the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative, or BALCO, according to the Chronicle. They also were asked to provide the identity of the person or persons who leaked the secret documents to them.
Fainaru-Wada and Williams used the transcripts in their detailed reporting of the BALCO case that linked well-known athletes to the use of performance-enhancing drugs.Barry Bonds entered this weekend in Philadelphia with 712 career home runs, just three shy of passing Babe Ruth's career total of 714, the second best of all time. But as those who have preceded him have learned, chasing Ruth can be a miserable process, exacting a cost, both physically and emotionally on those who challenge the legend.
